Easterly view at the Adelaide Street
intersection. Unlike Highbury Avenue, Adelaide Street is not a county
road this far north of London. Adelaide Street is consistently paved
between Highway 7 and London, however.

View looking westerly at the Granton Line
intersection. Granton Line is located immediately east of the Highbury
Avenue intersection. Click here
for a photo of this intersection, taken in September, 2005.

View looking easterly towards the Prospect Hill
Road intersection. Highway 7 followed Prospect Hill Road until 1970
when the St. Mary's Diversion was opened to traffic. Click
here for a photo of this
intersection, taken in September, 2005.

Highway 7 looking west across the North Branch
of the Thames River. Hills like the one shown in this picture are not
typical of the otherwise mundane Southwestern Ontario terrain.

location, taken in August, 2004.

Easterly view approaching the Wellburn Road
intersection. Wellburn Road is an important county road that leads
southerly from Highway 7 before turning west towards Highway 4.
Middlesex Road 27 is one of only a handful of county roads that crosses the
North Branch of the Thames River.

Two views looking at both the
northern and southern sides of the St. Mary's Overhead that carries Highway
7 overtop of the GEXR line. Oddly, the piers of the St. Mary's Overhead do
not appear to have been positioned to allow an additional railway line to be
constructed adjacent to the existing line as is typical of most railway
grade separations built by the MTO. Since these photos were taken, the St.
Mary's Overhead has been rehabilitated.

View looking westerly along Highway 7 from the centre of the Perth Road 119
(Highway 19) roundabout. Click

before the roundabout was constructed.

This picture is looking west along Highway 7/19
over the Trout Creek and Wildwood Lake Dam site. This is one of very
few modern highways in Ontario to cross an active dam. Click

an earlier view from the same vantage point taken, August 2004.

Signage at the eastern end of the St. Marys by-pass for Highway 7/19.
Highway 19 was transferred to local municipalities north of Highway 401 on
January 1st, 1998. This signage was removed during a large resigning
project that took place later in 2004.
Photo taken: January 10th, 2004.

Close-up of the signage directing traffic from the roundabout to the eastern
leg of Highway 7. Note the differing arrow styles for the road name
versus the control city. This is typical roundabout exit signage in
Ontario.

Easterly view at the Perth Line 26 intersection. Perth Line 26, via
Tavistock, forms a popular, though unofficial by-pass of Stratford, as Perth
Line 26 rejoins Highway 7/8 (after changing county road numbers four times)
at the western edge of New Hamburg.
Photo taken: June 15th, 2014.

Westerly view at the Perth Line 26 intersection. As with the Perth
Line 20 intersection, a modern roundabout will be constructed at this
intersection in the future. Construction was envisioned to take place
during the 2014 construction season, however as this text is being written
in September, 2014, and a contract has yet to be called, a completion date
of 2015 seems more likely.

This photo shows the junction of Highways 7 and
8 in Stratford. Stratford has very few reassurance markers and has
removed all references to Highway 19. Before 1998 the furthest right
sign on the gantry would have included a Highway 19 crown; 19 north is
routed east along Ontario Street (concurrent with Highways 7 and 8) before heading north along
Waterloo Street to Tralee.
